An unforgettable year: Alex Anton wins his first Triton title and a WSOP gold bracelet – a double celebration.

Alex Anton won the Triton Jeju $30,000 NLH Turbo event, taking home the $577,000 title and his first Triton championship. He had just won a WSOP bracelet three months prior and had already reached multiple final tables this week.

At a star-studded final table, the newcomer ultimately shone.

Alex Anton dominated the Triton Jeju event #9:$30,000 NLHE Turbo, defeating 70 competitors in a fast-paced manner and winning heads-up against Artur Martirosian to claim the $577,000 prize.

This marks Anton's fourth career Triton cash prize, following his cash prize in Event #5 this week and a third-place finish in Event #7. Now, in addition to the WSOP bracelet he won three months ago, he has added his second-largest career cash prize and his first Triton title.

Meanwhile, Martirosian's dream of a fifth Triton title was dashed, but his $411,000 prize money was enough to push his Triton jackpot past $16 million.

Final Table Recap

Despite the nine-player final table being confirmed, Winfred Yu became the first casualty, eliminated by Adrian Mateos, who took the lead from Stephen Chidwick. Martirosian then eliminated Mikita Badziakouski in a pre-flop run, making Badziakouski the first player to win a six-figure prize.

Byron Kaverman entered the final table with the shortest stack and experienced a rollercoaster ride. He doubled up against Martirosian with AJ against AK, but Martirosian then doubled up back with his own AJ against the American's A9.

Chidwick then had a chance to finish Kaverman off with his last two big blinds, but Kaverman beat A♥10♥ with K2 and survived by hitting a K on the flop.

At this point, the average stack was 12 big blinds, and the action seemed endless. Another double occurred, this time Alisson Piekazewicz finishing off Kaverman, who now had less than a big blind left. His luck finally ran out when Martirosian sent him off the table.

Chidwick returned to the top of the leaderboard, but with only 16 big blinds, anyone could win as the chip leader. For example, Piekazewicz doubled up again from Chidwick, while Mateos unfortunately dropped to fifth place, his AJ against Martirosian's Q9, only to be dealt a lucky two pair on the turn by Martirosian.

Martirosian took a strong lead, but no lead is safe, and Anton subsequently doubled down from him to take the chip lead for the first time.

Martirosian nearly eliminated Chidwick from the tournament, but Chidwick held a very narrow lead over Martirosian. However, a quarter blind (equivalent to 50,000 in a 200,000/400,000 blind) was not enough for Chidwick to turn the tide, and he was subsequently eliminated by Anton.

Piekazewicz was short on chips but doubled up against Anton, starting a three-way battle. Despite this, Anton maintained his chip lead over Martirosian, while Piekazewicz remained in third place.

Third place was Piekazewicz's finish line, his J10 was defeated by Martirosian's 74, and Anton entered heads-up play with a chip lead of 7.8 million to 6.2 million.

Anton extended his lead to 2-1 in heads-up play, but Martirosian doubled his bet with AJ to 84. However, Anton ultimately secured the victory, winning his first Triton title and a $577,000 prize.
